Freezing ground beef can lead to a mushy texture, but using a rolling pin before freezing can help prevent this. Rolling down and over the meat with a rolling pin helps squash air pockets and minimize moisture, preserving the texture of the frozen ground beef. The rolling pin presses down against the meat, minimizing excess moisture and maintaining the structure of the meat during freezing.

Seismic waves passing through the Earth's inner core have revealed that it is textured rather than homogenous. This discovery provides valuable insights into the age, composition, and structure of the inner core, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet's geomagnetic field. By analyzing echoes of powerful earthquakes, researchers have found that the inner core exhibits inhomogeneity on a scale of "grains" smaller than 10 kilometers. The texture becomes stronger towards the center of the Earth, suggesting rapid growth during its formation. The study sheds light on the complex nature of Earth's inner core and its significance in understanding the planet's dynamics.

Scientists have determined the optimal combination of ingredients to ensure that gummy sweets maintain their chewy texture, even when stored for extended periods. The study focused on adjusting the concentrations of starch and gelatin, as well as the ratio of glucose syrup to sucrose, to maximize the longevity of the sweets' texture.
